editorhome
i’m in the home stretch of my d*s book manuscript writing so i’m going to head back to work now- but i wanted to leave you with another little peek into its pages. this detail shot belongs to one of our editor’s amazing homes. when you see the full shot of this room you’re going to flip- it is the most gorgeous peach color ever. along with this home, all of the other d*s editor homes will be featured in the book, so stay tuned- it’s shaping up so nicely! until monday, i hope you all have a wonderful weekend. below is a summary of this week’s highlights.

That color could lift the mood of anyone – even Oscar the Grouch.
(OK, so I admit I am a little crabby).
Beautiful. I am looking forward to your book…

I about flipped when I saw that painting. I have one just like it but the lady in red is standing next to a bird cage. Now I need to go see if I can find more of them!

OMG! My grandparents had that same exact painting hanging in their living room in the 70s! Wow…brings back memories. By the way, gorgeous color on the wall.

My mother received a painting from my grandmother that is strikingly similar to the one featured in the peach room. The woman playing the piano in Mom’s painting is wearing blue, but maybe that would be a great focal piece for a blue room. Hmmmm….

What an inspirational room! My mom has a painting that is strikingly similar with a woman in blue playing the piano. Might need to look into a blue room that would make it pop….

What a pretty and clever arrangement! And the peach on the wall lifts it up wonderfully.

P.S.:On another note – I am really enjoying my new Camilla Engmann Wallpaper. Thanks Grace!

Nichole – the glass candlesticks are from Ittala, and are called Festivo. They were designed by Timo Sarpaneva in 1966, and you can still buy them new. Finnstyle.com is a great source for Ittala stuff.

I love the retro look and the way the colours come together and form such a warm arrangement. It’s really impresive.
